Default Any problems with manual cutouts?

Are there any problems associated with manual cutouts, such as exhaust leaks or the cap falling off? Thanks for the info!

I know one of buddies burnt his arm pretty bad taking off his plate after driving to the track. Other than that I think they hold together real well.

I've never had a problem with mine. I'm not lowered though.

I don't plan on taking the cap off after I just drove it. My car isn't lowered either. So the cap doesn't fall off when driving? Good to know, thanks!

As long as you aren't an idiot it is pretty hard for something to go wrong. Tighten the 3 bolts down and make sure someone that knows how to weld does the welding on it.

I have taken mine off plenty of times at the track after I get there and before I leave.

I am lowered 1.25" and I can get mine off/on without having to jack the car up in about 1 minute.

Thanks the input everyone! I'm not too lazy to crawl underneath my car every now and then. It's not for track use. I just want a little more noise.
